Between 14 and 16 March 2024, Bratislava will host the Break the Ice Forum, a boutique MICE forum, where leading event organisers and suppliers in the meetings industry will converge for three days of networking and fostering new business opportunities. The event will include 35 to 45 carefully selected hosted buyers and the same number of world-class suppliers.

The event is renowned for its productive one-to-one meetings, team-building activities, networking dinners, and exploration of destinations. Attendees can look forward to exploring Bratislava’s mix of old-school charm and modern vibes. In the Old Town, they will have to chance to wander the picturesque historic streets or visit iconic attractions like the Bratislava Castle or St. Martin’s Cathedral. The main partners of the event are the Bratislava Tourist Board and the event venue – Grand Hotel River Park, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Bratislava.

Three reasons to attend

Break The Ice Forum is one of the leading European B2B events for the MICE sector. The intimate-sized forum provides unique group cohesion, creating close relations with all the participants. Here are three advantages of the event format:

1. Family-sized forum
Small groups foster an environment for magical moments to occur. By staying at the same hotel, individuals can genuinely connect through one-to-one meetings, team-building activities, networking dinners, and lively parties.

2. Pre-scheduled meetings
On Friday morning, attendees will have one-to-one meetings with the top buyers and suppliers tailored to their demands and needs. After that, they will have opportunities to build meaningful connections over lunch, activities, dinners, and an after-party.

3. Socially Responsible
Break the Ice Forum aspires to leave a lasting, positive impact on the destinations where the forums occur. Bratislava is no different, so the organisers and the Bratislava Tourist Board will aim to foster multiplicative effects for the local community while reducing the event’s carbon footprint.

After the event, attendees will have the chance to attend post-fam-trips to explore Bratislava further. The fam trips will be powered by the partners of the event: Enjoy Slovakia DMCTour4U and AC Hotel by Marriott Bratislava Old Town.
